FRIDAY M0KXWG, FEB. 4, 1859. Taxes, ate. To th Editor of tht Ohio State Journal: In your paper of the 2d, a correspondent attempts to correct my estimates of the amounts received by county officers for their services. I had not tho benefit of the books in those offices, and was therefore careful to keep within the truo amount. There is no statement of ' your correspondent which weakens in the least de-greo my confidence in 'the accuracy of the amounts which I gave. One Treasurer loft the offico after a service of two terms with some $15,000 nett profit, if I am not misinformed by those who ought to know. If the Treasurer pays oat S1,C00 for clerk hire, he does a very foolish thing. Every one, who is at all acquainted with tho office, knows that a very ordinary merchant's clerk can discharge all the duties of Treasurer, except during the short period, when the taxes are paid. During that period, there is no service to be per formed, beyond the capacity of one who can count, add, and fill a blank receipt. Such per sons can be procured by others for a very moderate sum, though tho Treasurer may have to pay extraordinary wages. But the Treasurer has to give a bond lu the sum of 5100,000. AVhnt for? Ho does not give it to secure tho county against losses by accident or robbery, tho failing of banks, or counterfeit money. The Treasurer is not responsible for such losses. - He is only responsible for misconduct, or iteuling. Every man knows that there is no risk in signing the bond of the present Treasurer, as he is careful and honest. Ought a Treasurer to be paid because lie gives a bond conditional that lie will not steal? The public ought not to pay for giving such an obligation. whenever an error is pointed out, it will be freely admitted; but ns I used at least ordinary diligence in ascertaining tho facts, I do not foci disposed to admit I am in error unlit it so appears from the record, A careful examination for a series of years in the Treasurer s and Auditor's office, will show who is in error. It is time the people were olhcially informed of the amount of their taxes which is appropriated to the payment of officers. : This subject should bo thoroughly examined,' by some competent authority, and the tax payers informed in regard to it. It has never yet been done, at least in a way to attract attention. If it is done now, my object will be fully accomplished. ICTUS. Bogus Illinois Scrip. A spocinl dispatch to the St. Louis Democrat dated Springfield, 111., Feb. 1, states that checks on tho State Bank of Chicago, issued by the canal commissioners, Gen. Fry, Wm. F. Thorn, ton and John A. SlcClernnnd, February twenty. seventh, eighteen fifty-soven were presented to the fund commissioner, Mr, Moore. One hundred and five bonds, from number nine hundred to ten hundred and four inclu sivo, of one thousand dollars each,' dated July first, eighteen fifty-seven, were given to Gov. Matteson in lieu of tho checks, who deposited them in the banking department as security for nirculatino notes on tha ShawnARtnwn Hunk. Gov. Matteson statesthat he bought the paper from timo to time in the market, in the full truth that it was genuine and that some of the same character presented by the oilier parties was funded by himself when he was Uovernor. Fiftv-two thousand of the notes on the Bank of tho Republic, and twelve thousand dollars of a. l.itnkliam S Ion U.ink, both at McLenns-boro,' were protested a few days since, and to day presented to the Auditor for redemption. The banks insisted that each bill should be pie Rented separately and protested. Hie parties holding the bills acted differently and protested them in the lump. Government Revenue. The Washington correspondent of the Now York Evening Pott gives the following account of the action of tho Democratic Senatorial cau cus on the Tariff question: "The caucus was called to respond to the r commendations of the President to change the tariff. The simple question was: 'Is it expeui ont?'

Singular Salelde. 1 We read, a few days since, of a "novel and interesting suicide," ai the reporter had phrased it, in New , York, but the account of a recent solf-murdor in New Orleans hat effaced the impressions of the novel and interesting case in question. . , The suicide was an Englishman, who had lost a little daughter in tbe fall, by yellow fever. The bereavement prayed upon his mind, and it was his frequent eustom to go and uncover the coffin, that be might look upon tbe form of his beloved daughter, even in the bidcousnessof do-cay. The Creicent gives the following account of the suicide: On Weduesday he went to the cemetery with two shrubs which he had purchased, and planted them in front of the tomb. ' On Thursday, when he left home, he told his wife that if he had no bettor luck in finding work she would never see him again. He also said something about having a place in which to rest. That evening, or that night for no one saw him in his gloomy proceedings ho visited the eemotery; taking with him his screw-driver, an iron trunk handle, a small rod of iron, a piece of wire, some new screws, and a large vial of laudanum. Unscrewing the board of the tomb, e threw away the screws and filled the screw boles in tho board with clay. ' ' With his new screws ho then secured tho trunk-handle to the inside of the board. This work, of course, had to bo done outside the tomb. Pushing his child's coffin asido, bo got in by its side, taking with him his poison and the othor articles with which he had provided himself. His hat ho placed upon the coffin; his coat, which he had taken off, lie wrapped around a brick for a pillow. He shut himself in witli tho board, by means of tho handle he had screwed to it; the board fitting outside tho wooden frame. . The iron bar, which was of the proper length, he placed across the frame inside. The thickness of the frame would not allow the bar to pass through the trunk-handle on tho insido of the board; so he secured tho handle and the bar by means of his wire, coiling it through the ono and around the other. He did not succeed in fitting the board square ly upon tho frame. One corner of it caught upon the brickwork outside of the frame; this he did not discover, probably, owing to the darkness of tho night; and but for this little circumstance his fate would probably have nev er been discovered, or not at least lor many years. Having thus hid himself away, as be fancied, beyond mortal discovery, he drained off the contents of his laudanum bottle, composed himself on his back, placed the brick and coat beneath his boad, and went to sleep, and oft into the unknown region of the suicides. As he did not return borne on luursday night, his wife feared tho worst, remembering well the tendency of his late conduct and the tenor of his parting words. Un Friday morning 1110 rose early and went out to the cemctory. She looked all around and failed to find her husband. She wont and looked at their tomb, and was about to leave, when she happened to notice that the board did not fit snugly into the frame as usunl. Looking closer, she discovered the mud in the screw-holes; and putting her; hand on the board, found it was standing loosely. She pulled it out a little, and tho first thing she saw was the dend face of her husband. ' She fainted away, and laid in th 1 grass she could not toll how long. She recovered at last, got up and went and informed the sexton, Mr. Merritt, of her discovery. The latter went nnd looked nt things, and sent word totho coroner; and the inquest was held, as we have staled, on Satur day. The coroner's verdict was in accordance with the facts so plainly apparent sUlcttU Dy loud- a num.

Mrs. Butler refused to accede to the request, in structing the servant to "say to the young per son that she would do no such thing." This was unmistakable, but It was also un civil, and smarting under the indignity, Miss Esmonde wrote this sharp ltttlo note to Mrs, Butler: Madam: In return for your great kindness and delicale appreciation of my motives in wish ing to hear your readings, allow me to enolose two tickets to my readings on Monday evening, I have not the presumption to suppose that you would derive much pleasure, or instruction in elocution, from any effort of mine; but my audiences are usually composed of refined, well bred people, and their example may prove of great advantage to you.

A stout, ruffianly fellow, whose nephew had been chastised at school, determined to have satisfaction of the teacher, a small, delicate young man. The latter, hoaring of the former's threats, armed himself for self-defense. The bully entered the school room and at once assailed the teacher, who drew a bowie knife. His arm was seized. but he managed to inflict a slight wound iu the side of his adversary. The latter then clutched the teacher's hand, but he twisted the knife in such a way as to horribly mutilate the assail ant's hand, who desisted from furthor attempts at chastisement. The teacher subseaucntlv complained of the bully, who was recognized in bonds to appear before the next term of the Hu ron Common Pleas. Served hint right. A Boy Carried Over the Falls of Niagara 1 A sad accident occurred nt Niannra Falls on Saturday.

We understand that the lad was 011 the ice, near the mills, where men had boon running the drift ice from tho flume, and accidentally fell into thoswift stream. Ho was seen to fall, but was seen tome distance down the river, in the rapids, when beyond the reaon or human aid, and speedily passed over. of oourse to rise no more alive. The child was twelve years old, and a lad of much' promise, beloved by his adopted parents and all who knew him. . The calamity caused much tenia tion at the vlllogo where it ocourred. The Rochester Democrat of thit morning contains the following additional partioulars: : ' The Niagara Falls Paper Mill is situated on Bath Island, betwoon Goat Island and the main laud, and tho machinery is driven by water power. ' On Saturday afternoon a number of men were engaged clearing away the ice which obstructed tho flow of water iu the race, and Mr. Gibbs' boy was playing about the violnlty. In one plnco the race is spanned by a narrow footbridge of plank, destitute of railing or other protection on either side; and lotnebow, in crossing this, he lost his balance and fell into the water. The ourrent was very strong, and In an Instant the child was carried out through the bulkhead at the tail end of the race and precipitated some ten feet into the foaming flood a short distance above the bridge connecting the two ialands. The rapids were full of floating blocks of ice, and mingled with these the poor little follow was carried down the stream. Help could not be afforded, and the horrified spectators witched him till he was lost to sight, lie was observed to raiso bis hand once, as if to remove something from his face, and that was all. The distance from the race to the falls cannot be much over fifty rods, and tbe fatal leap was not long delayed. It is not probable that any vestige will ever be discovered of the remains.

Since Douglns hut given in his adhesion to the Administration party at Washington there is some curiosity as to where Forney ttands. For himself and those Democrats who agree with the Dress he speaks as follows: ' ' If we know these Democrats, we think we we can say that they are the followers of no ' especial candidate. Speaking for this journal alone, we repeat, for tho hundredth time, that no man will receive our support who does not stand up squarely by the principles to which we consider ourselves pledged, not only by our wholo political lifo, but especially by the great irsueB immediately involved in the contest of 1858. These are primary essentials. These constitute the positive precedent conditions. Having disoarded a usurped organization, to save certain imperiled truths, we are not yet willing to reject these latter for any individual, no matter how high his title or boundless his fanio. We have the warmest personal regard for Stephen A. Douglas. We honor the man for what he bas done, aad we confide in him for the future, assured that ho can be elevated to no eminence higher than that which he now occupies, if he. shall stand steadily by bis own declarations,' even if that eminence should be the Presidency itself. But when we behold the extraordinary doctrines boldly breached at Washington, looking to the consolidation of enormous powers in the hands of a single individual; when we see conventions (apturcd, public men debauched, premiums offered for treason by Ihe small despots who have reached power simply- to betray it, we should neither be just to ourselves, nor to Judge Douglas, or to any other man who may aspire to the Presidency, by committing this journal to (he exclusive championship of any special candidate We do not belong to the party of Antony, nor to the party of Ceesar, we are for Rome. If the iniquities of the present Administration are to be woven into the framework of the Democratic party, we would not wish our worst enemy, much less our best friend, to stand upon tho scaffold that would be held together by such bonds as these. ;.

Mr.Prescott's Funeral The Clrenmstances of his Death. , Boston, Monday, January 81, 1859.. Mr. Prcscott's funeral took place this afternoon' at 3 o'clock, from the Unitarian church he usually attended, in Chauncey street, , Tbe , church was completely filled before the appoint ed hour, but the services were of as private a 'nature ns possible, no pall-bearers having been .specially . appointed, and no demonstrations ore mado by any of the societies to which Mr. Prescott belonged. But many , members of the 'Massachusetts Historical Society, the Cambridge Professors nnd others were included among his intimate friends, and sat near the pulpit, and tho audience contained a full representation from the various grades of literary, commercial and social distinction in the city. The services vrero quite simple, consisting in reading selected passages from the Scriptures, and two chants by the choir. . It is hardly possible that the death of any other citizen could be more deeply and cordially felt, while so silently lamented. An intimation has been given that the Massachusetts Historical Society will take some publio notice of tho oocasion at some future time, probably by an eulogy by some one of its members. Tho event was touchingly alluded to in the various pulpits of tho city on Sunday. To-day the bookstores were closed in observance of the funeral. I learn from a private source, that an hour before the fatal stroke he had been conversing with his friends. Hnving retired to another room, his amanuensis heard him groaning, and on bursting open the door found him with his head thrown back entirely unconscious, and in about an hour after he died. The previous premonition which he received 8 few months since, had accustomed his family and friends when parting with him to do so, as if they feared another meeting on earth. But this circumstance by no means diminished tho poignancy of their griof, nor in any way supplies his place, for whom a greater solicitudo and love were felt on account of his own'precarious situation. Of tho work on which he was engaged, Philip II., six volumes were designed, three of which have been published ; part of the fourth is now written, and the other two will probably fall to the hands of some other master of Spanish history to complete, but the touch of the great painter cannot but be missed, and the line clearly defined where he finished and another began. ' S 1111 1 Prescott the Historian. , ' Tho Sulem (Mass.) Register myi: "We have heard that the accident which deprived Prescott of tho use of one eye, and subsequently so impaired the power of vision in the other, was occasioned by a blow from a crust 4 f broad thrown across the room by a - follow-stt:. dent in Commons Hall, near the close of his col We career. This seeming calamity changed the whole ourrent of his life, which he intended 'to devote to legal pursuits, and finally led him into that brilliant career as a historian, in which he lias achloved a world-renowned honor for himself and his country."

FRIDAY M0KXWG, FEB. 4, 1859. Taxes, ate. To th Editor of tht Ohio State Journal: In your paper of the 2d, a correspondent attempts to correct my estimates of the amounts received by county officers for their services. I had not tho benefit of the books in those offices, and was therefore careful to keep within the truo amount. There is no statement of ' your correspondent which weakens in the least de-greo my confidence in 'the accuracy of the amounts which I gave. One Treasurer loft the offico after a service of two terms with some $15,000 nett profit, if I am not misinformed by those who ought to know. If the Treasurer pays oat S1,C00 for clerk hire, he does a very foolish thing. Every one, who is at all acquainted with tho office, knows that a very ordinary merchant's clerk can discharge all the duties of Treasurer, except during the short period, when the taxes are paid. During that period, there is no service to be per formed, beyond the capacity of one who can count, add, and fill a blank receipt. Such per sons can be procured by others for a very moderate sum, though tho Treasurer may have to pay extraordinary wages. But the Treasurer has to give a bond lu the sum of 5100,000. AVhnt for? Ho does not give it to secure tho county against losses by accident or robbery, tho failing of banks, or counterfeit money. The Treasurer is not responsible for such losses. - He is only responsible for misconduct, or iteuling. Every man knows that there is no risk in signing the bond of the present Treasurer, as he is careful and honest. Ought a Treasurer to be paid because lie gives a bond conditional that lie will not steal? The public ought not to pay for giving such an obligation. whenever an error is pointed out, it will be freely admitted; but ns I used at least ordinary diligence in ascertaining tho facts, I do not foci disposed to admit I am in error unlit it so appears from the record, A careful examination for a series of years in the Treasurer s and Auditor's office, will show who is in error. It is time the people were olhcially informed of the amount of their taxes which is appropriated to the payment of officers. : This subject should bo thoroughly examined,' by some competent authority, and the tax payers informed in regard to it. It has never yet been done, at least in a way to attract attention. If it is done now, my object will be fully accomplished. ICTUS. Bogus Illinois Scrip. A spocinl dispatch to the St. Louis Democrat dated Springfield, 111., Feb. 1, states that checks on tho State Bank of Chicago, issued by the canal commissioners, Gen. Fry, Wm. F. Thorn, ton and John A. SlcClernnnd, February twenty. seventh, eighteen fifty-soven were presented to the fund commissioner, Mr, Moore. One hundred and five bonds, from number nine hundred to ten hundred and four inclu sivo, of one thousand dollars each,' dated July first, eighteen fifty-seven, were given to Gov. Matteson in lieu of tho checks, who deposited them in the banking department as security for nirculatino notes on tha ShawnARtnwn Hunk. Gov. Matteson statesthat he bought the paper from timo to time in the market, in the full truth that it was genuine and that some of the same character presented by the oilier parties was funded by himself when he was Uovernor.

The Washington correspondent of the Now York Evening Pott gives the following account of the action of tho Democratic Senatorial cau cus on the Tariff question: "The caucus was called to respond to the r commendations of the President to change the tariff. The simple question was: 'Is it expeui ont?' "Mr. Hunter of Virginia, Chairman of the Finance committee in tbe Senate, and a promi nont candidate for the Charleston nomination for tho Presidency against Mr, Buchanan, offer ed a resolution that 'It is inexpedient to make any change in the tariff during the present es sion.' Mr Bigler of Pennsylvania, a candidate for the Charleston nomination for v icol'resi dent, trembling before the demands of tho iron masters of Pennsylvania, offered an amendment that 'it u expediont to make a change, for the purpose of increasing the revenue.' A 'demo crat,' so called, informs mo that Mr. Biclcr1 amendment tvat voted down almott unanimously, ' "A vote was then taken on the resolution of Mr. Hunter, and it was adopted by a very largo majority, 'lliis resolution; it is understood, re fleets tho views of Seoretary Cobb, as reported in my letter in tho Jivenipg J'ott of yesterday Ihe latter, looking to a general revival or busi noRS, thinks the present tariff is sufficient, not withstanding the notions set forth in his report It is also understood that the amendment of Mr, Bigler expresses the views of tho President the latter, ns I telegraphed yesterday, having prepared a special messnge to Congress in favor of increasing the revenue, and stating the dcnott of the present fiscal year to bo twenty millions or dollars. ..

Singular Salelde. 1 We read, a few days since, of a "novel and interesting suicide," ai the reporter had phrased it, in New , York, but the account of a recent solf-murdor in New Orleans hat effaced the impressions of the novel and interesting case in question. . , The suicide was an Englishman, who had lost a little daughter in tbe fall, by yellow fever. The bereavement prayed upon his mind, and it was his frequent eustom to go and uncover the coffin, that be might look upon tbe form of his beloved daughter, even in the bidcousnessof do-cay. The Creicent gives the following account of the suicide: On Weduesday he went to the cemetery with two shrubs which he had purchased, and planted them in front of the tomb. ' On Thursday, when he left home, he told his wife that if he had no bettor luck in finding work she would never see him again. He also said something about having a place in which to rest. That evening, or that night for no one saw him in his gloomy proceedings ho visited the eemotery; taking with him his screw-driver, an iron trunk handle, a small rod of iron, a piece of wire, some new screws, and a large vial of laudanum. Unscrewing the board of the tomb, e threw away the screws and filled the screw boles in tho board with clay. ' ' With his new screws ho then secured tho trunk-handle to the inside of the board. This work, of course, had to bo done outside the tomb. Pushing his child's coffin asido, bo got in by its side, taking with him his poison and the othor articles with which he had provided himself. His hat ho placed upon the coffin; his coat, which he had taken off, lie wrapped around a brick for a pillow. He shut himself in witli tho board, by means of tho handle he had screwed to it; the board fitting outside tho wooden frame. . The iron bar, which was of the proper length, he placed across the frame inside. The thickness of the frame would not allow the bar to pass through the trunk-handle on tho insido of the board; so he secured tho handle and the bar by means of his wire, coiling it through the ono and around the other. He did not succeed in fitting the board square ly upon tho frame. One corner of it caught upon the brickwork outside of the frame; this he did not discover, probably, owing to the darkness of tho night; and but for this little circumstance his fate would probably have nev er been discovered, or not at least lor many years. Having thus hid himself away, as be fancied, beyond mortal discovery, he drained off the contents of his laudanum bottle, composed himself on his back, placed the brick and coat beneath his boad, and went to sleep, and oft into the unknown region of the suicides. As he did not return borne on luursday night, his wife feared tho worst, remembering well the tendency of his late conduct and the tenor of his parting words. Un Friday morning 1110 rose early and went out to the cemctory. She looked all around and failed to find her husband. She wont and looked at their tomb, and was about to leave, when she happened to notice that the board did not fit snugly into the frame as usunl. Looking closer, she discovered the mud in the screw-holes; and putting her; hand on the board, found it was standing loosely. She pulled it out a little, and tho first thing she saw was the dend face of her husband. ' She fainted away, and laid in th 1 grass she could not toll how long. She recovered at last, got up and went and informed the sexton, Mr. Merritt, of her discovery. The latter went nnd looked nt things, and sent word totho coroner; and the inquest was held, as we have staled, on Satur day. The coroner's verdict was in accordance with the facts so plainly apparent sUlcttU Dy loud- a num.

Miss Teresa Esmonde is a Shaksperitin read er, and Mrs. Fanny Kemble Butler is also a pub- lio reader of Shakspeare. The former called at the hotel of the latter, with a request for the customary professional courtesy of free tickets. Mrs. Butler refused to accede to the request, in structing the servant to "say to the young per son that she would do no such thing." This was unmistakable, but It was also un civil, and smarting under the indignity, Miss Esmonde wrote this sharp ltttlo note to Mrs, Butler: Madam: In return for your great kindness and delicale appreciation of my motives in wish ing to hear your readings, allow me to enolose two tickets to my readings on Monday evening, I have not the presumption to suppose that you would derive much pleasure, or instruction in elocution, from any effort of mine; but my audiences are usually composed of refined, well bred people, and their example may prove of great advantage to you.

The local of a country exchange replies in the following caustic manner to the Insinuations of a baso colemporary: In reply to James Shallowbrain Van Vaulk- ingburgh, "Lew" would say that, we never went to a school that taught us to wear gold rings without paying for them. Bah! Jiramv. look yonder BgfjL. Neither did we sack corn cribs. Hah! This is a specimen of tlie "certain intensity of style" bo properly reprobated by the editor of the Cincinnati Commercial. Two Men Drowned. Last Saturday, at about four o'clock P. M., Pe ter Seely and his son Levi, about eighteen years of age, wane crossing the river on tbe ice just above the dam nt Turner's Mills in Carlisle, in this county, fell through the ice and were both drowned. No person saw them at the time, and their absence was not mode known br the fami ly until Sunday, P, JL, when the neighbors turned out nnd saw their bodies in the river. Coroner Eldrcd was summoned, but as thero was no doubt shout tL, l n-hich tliev came to their death, he did not hold an inquest. Elyria Democrat. Morrow County. The Mansfiold Herald says it is tho intention of many of the farmers of this county, to plant extensively the coming spring. Many that have not heretofore experimented, now declare their Intention of doing so. A correspondent of the same paper writes: Wild Cats. Two wild cats have beon seen in the western part of this county, ouo of which, I understand, were killed some timo ago. Wo object to this writer's use of "were," and to his adoption of a style peculiar to the Cincinnati Commercial. It is "flat burglary." Speaking br the Card. Great are tho inventions of Genius ond the faculty of advertising now-n-days, often develops peculiar skill, and hereby hangs a tale. A friend of ours, sojourning in the "rural districts," recently, was presented with a "card," of which tho following is a verbatim copy: R. E DENTON, "Jack at AU Trades," CUARDON, OHIO. Particular attention paid to instruction on the Piano Forte; the manufacture of Tin Pans, and Portrait Painting. references: Edwin Munail, Hiram Biishnoll, Lute Hayden, Reuben Hall. Having given the above gratuitous insertion, we say to you, aside, dear reader, "Let those now advertise, who never advertised before. And ye who advertise, now advertise th more." Ravenna Democrat. Theatrical Intelligence. Wo read in tho Toledo Timer. Ellslor and Vinceut, late of tho Cleveland Thoator, are at Wood's Theater in Cincinnati, where the spectacle ot"Aiaddin s Lamp is being put on the stage with full effect. It has beon the impression of tho Columbus play-goers that Ellslor and Vincent are now performing in this City. We supppose this is a mistake. But let the niattor be looked Into. Let us know whether we have tho "genuine Jarby" or only a base imitation thereof, It cannot be that a person of the Timet local's vast general information is in error about this mat ter. Attempt to Kill a Schoolmaster. This recreation is becoming entirely too prevr lent. The Sandusky Register says : . We understand that a rather serious affrav occurred a few days ago, at a school house in the neighborhood of Yi akeman, Huron county. A stout, ruffianly fellow, whose nephew had been chastised at school, determined to have satisfaction of the teacher, a small, delicate young man. The latter, hoaring of the former's threats, armed himself for self-defense. The bully entered the school room and at once assailed the teacher, who drew a bowie knife. His arm was seized. but he managed to inflict a slight wound iu the side of his adversary. The latter then clutched the teacher's hand, but he twisted the knife in such a way as to horribly mutilate the assail ant's hand, who desisted from furthor attempts at chastisement. The teacher subseaucntlv complained of the bully, who was recognized in bonds to appear before the next term of the Hu ron Common Pleas. Served hint right. A Boy Carried Over the Falls of Niagara 1 A sad accident occurred nt Niannra Falls on Saturday. The Roohcster Union says an adopted son of Mr. Gibhs, foreman of the Paper Mills, accidentally fell into the river and was carried over tho Amorican Fall. We understand that the lad was 011 the ice, near the mills, where men had boon running the drift ice from tho flume, and accidentally fell into thoswift stream. Ho was seen to fall, but was seen tome distance down the river, in the rapids, when beyond the reaon or human aid, and speedily passed over. of oourse to rise no more alive. The child was twelve years old, and a lad of much' promise, beloved by his adopted parents and all who knew him. . The calamity caused much tenia tion at the vlllogo where it ocourred. The Rochester Democrat of thit morning contains the following additional partioulars: : ' The Niagara Falls Paper Mill is situated on Bath Island, betwoon Goat Island and the main laud, and tho machinery is driven by water power. ' On Saturday afternoon a number of men were engaged clearing away the ice which obstructed tho flow of water iu the race, and Mr. Gibbs' boy was playing about the violnlty. In one plnco the race is spanned by a narrow footbridge of plank, destitute of railing or other protection on either side; and lotnebow, in crossing this, he lost his balance and fell into the water. The ourrent was very strong, and In an Instant the child was carried out through the bulkhead at the tail end of the race and precipitated some ten feet into the foaming flood a short distance above the bridge connecting the two ialands. The rapids were full of floating blocks of ice, and mingled with these the poor little follow was carried down the stream. Help could not be afforded, and the horrified spectators witched him till he was lost to sight, lie was observed to raiso bis hand once, as if to remove something from his face, and that was all. The distance from the race to the falls cannot be much over fifty rods, and tbe fatal leap was not long delayed. It is not probable that any vestige will ever be discovered of the remains. The remorseless vortex beneath the fulls seldom returns to land anything committed to itt mysterious deptln. , , Forney on Donglas. Since Douglns hut given in his adhesion to the Administration party at Washington there is some curiosity as to where Forney ttands. For himself and those Democrats who agree with the Dress he speaks as follows: ' ' If we know these Democrats, we think we we can say that they are the followers of no ' especial candidate. Speaking for this journal alone, we repeat, for tho hundredth time, that no man will receive our support who does not stand up squarely by the principles to which we consider ourselves pledged, not only by our wholo political lifo, but especially by the great irsueB immediately involved in the contest of 1858. These are primary essentials. These constitute the positive precedent conditions. Having disoarded a usurped organization, to save certain imperiled truths, we are not yet willing to reject these latter for any individual, no matter how high his title or boundless his fanio. We have the warmest personal regard for Stephen A. Douglas. We honor the man for what he bas done, aad we confide in him for the future, assured that ho can be elevated to no eminence higher than that which he now occupies, if he. shall stand steadily by bis own declarations,' even if that eminence should be the Presidency itself. But when we behold the extraordinary doctrines boldly breached at Washington, looking to the consolidation of enormous powers in the hands of a single individual; when we see conventions (apturcd, public men debauched, premiums offered for treason by Ihe small despots who have reached power simply- to betray it, we should neither be just to ourselves, nor to Judge Douglas, or to any other man who may aspire to the Presidency, by committing this journal to (he exclusive championship of any special candidate We do not belong to the party of Antony, nor to the party of Ceesar, we are for Rome. If the iniquities of the present Administration are to be woven into the framework of the Democratic party, we would not wish our worst enemy, much less our best friend, to stand upon tho scaffold that would be held together by such bonds as these. ;. ' ' t It will require the efforts of all patriotic men of every party, to reacua the ship of Stato from tho tempests that howls around it, and to save Lt-C-m ihb tlrflrs npnTi wliieh she 13 TUSh- Inj without Kelmsmea or captain. Whon aoo-trines against which tho whole history of the country, not only. of Demooratio, but of every party, is a living protest dootrincs disoarded y the fathers of tho Republic, and doctrines repudiated by every organization that has aspired to popular confidence, are boldly asserted and made tests upon tbe peoplo, it is no time to think of men it is time to think of the means of deliverance from impending evil. Let 11s first bring tho gallant ship into port, after that we may summon all hands upon deck, prepare the chart for a new voyage, so that we may avoid tho mad currents from which we have just escaped. And when the owners are satisfied, (videlicet tho Democratic people,) then we can proceed to select the commander who is (to keep the crew in order for the next four years. . ,. .., 1 Correspondenceof tb Evening Post. Mr.Prescott's Funeral The Clrenmstances of his Death. , Boston, Monday, January 81, 1859.. Mr. Prcscott's funeral took place this afternoon' at 3 o'clock, from the Unitarian church he usually attended, in Chauncey street, , Tbe , church was completely filled before the appoint ed hour, but the services were of as private a 'nature ns possible, no pall-bearers having been .specially . appointed, and no demonstrations ore mado by any of the societies to which Mr. Prescott belonged. But many , members of the 'Massachusetts Historical Society, the Cambridge Professors nnd others were included among his intimate friends, and sat near the pulpit, and tho audience contained a full representation from the various grades of literary, commercial and social distinction in the city. The services vrero quite simple, consisting in reading selected passages from the Scriptures, and two chants by the choir. . It is hardly possible that the death of any other citizen could be more deeply and cordially felt, while so silently lamented. An intimation has been given that the Massachusetts Historical Society will take some publio notice of tho oocasion at some future time, probably by an eulogy by some one of its members. Tho event was touchingly alluded to in the various pulpits of tho city on Sunday. To-day the bookstores were closed in observance of the funeral. I learn from a private source, that an hour before the fatal stroke he had been conversing with his friends. Hnving retired to another room, his amanuensis heard him groaning, and on bursting open the door found him with his head thrown back entirely unconscious, and in about an hour after he died. The previous premonition which he received 8 few months since, had accustomed his family and friends when parting with him to do so, as if they feared another meeting on earth. But this circumstance by no means diminished tho poignancy of their griof, nor in any way supplies his place, for whom a greater solicitudo and love were felt on account of his own'precarious situation. Of tho work on which he was engaged, Philip II., six volumes were designed, three of which have been published ; part of the fourth is now written, and the other two will probably fall to the hands of some other master of Spanish history to complete, but the touch of the great painter cannot but be missed, and the line clearly defined where he finished and another began. ' S 1111 1 Prescott the Historian. , ' Tho Sulem (Mass.) Register myi: "We have heard that the accident which deprived Prescott of tho use of one eye, and subsequently so impaired the power of vision in the other, was occasioned by a blow from a crust 4 f broad thrown across the room by a - follow-stt:. dent in Commons Hall, near the close of his col We career. This seeming calamity changed the whole ourrent of his life, which he intended 'to devote to legal pursuits, and finally led him into that brilliant career as a historian, in which he lias achloved a world-renowned honor for himself and his country."
